Vivian Campbell - Two Sides of If (2005)

Vivian Campbell's new blues CD, Two Sides of If, is an interesting collection of blues standards and a song written for the CD by Billy Gibbons. Vivian's vocals are, to a reasonable extent, reminiscent of both Gary Moore and Rory Gallagher, yet the power and passion he exerts are all his. He's soulful and energetic, and his guitar playing is potent and bluesy.
